What is wrong here.......

This is like that photo game where you guess the 10 errors. Some more: title says 1933 - description says 1916, he's got nothing else for sale, the flip looks like a kidnapping letter, he says it's a "gift" from a "will", he does the silly old me knows nothing about cards, there's more but I'm on my phone and am going by image memory.

ALSO that flip should have a hologram

It is an old slab with a low serial#. I hear they gave higher grades back then.

I could be wrong but I thought the 1933 reprints were produced in 1983. If Ruth died in 1948, how did he sign that?

I think you may have stumbled on the secret... Babe Ruth is still alive! A spritely 122 years young and signing for non-sports loving, Canadian great-grandsons.

This is one lucky grandson. His great grandfather had the card graded by PSA prior to passing it down to his grandpa. Grandpa leaves it in his will for this fortunate grandson. Wow! Amazing imagination kid.

Cut him some slack. He's Canadian.

I actually came here to post on a related topic...The number of unauthorized reproductions being sold on eBay. How are people getting away with this? Reprints are starting to outnumber originals in search results. Shouldn't these listings be shut down? It's very frustrating.
